BA Johns Hopkins University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I tutor many STEM subjects, SAT/ACT prep, and AP/IB classes! In the years past, I've mentored two robotics teams and I have experience tutoring at my school and in my neighborhood. I deeply believe that an intuitive understanding of educational content is crucial to success, and I implement this philosophy by teaching problem-solving techniques and strategies in addition to the material. In my free time, I love to read, paint, crochet, and watch TV shows. :)

Miriam
PhD Duke University • BA Duke University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm a passionate explorer, educator, and scientist. I am a Planetary Science Researcher (PhD, 2008). I write grants to NASA to use spacecraft data to study the composition and evolution of rocky planetary bodies (Moon, Mercury, asteroids). My research is broad and interdisciplinary that equips me to tutor many subjects and also to show students connections between subjects when it improves subject mastery. I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years, at every level of my education and career. In high school I taught aerospace education and aviation search and rescue while I earned my pilot's license. As an undergraduate at Duke I tutored athletes in Geology, Calculus, and Electrical Engineering core courses and I was a teaching assistant for Computer Science and Linear Circuits Laboratory. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in geology. And as a professor, I've taught undergraduate and graduate science courses at a major U.S. research university. Most recently I designed a combined English and Engineering elective to students with limited English Proficiency at a small university in Colombia.

Emerson
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, working towards a pre-med double major in Psychology and Biology (with a specialization in Neuroscience). Beginning in my early teens, I began working and volunteering as a tutor in a variety of environments: I began as a volunteer at a summer program for underprivileged children at the Learning and Tutoring Center of East Austin, and since I have worked as a private elementary school tutor, a private SAT-prep tutor, and a preschool tutor for the Neighborhood Schools Program in South Side Chicago. I have taken, and succeeded in, a broad range of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, and am familiar with the latest formats, question varieties, and scoring guidelines of these standardized tests, along with the SAT. My teaching philosophy is to go beyond "teaching to the test". Although test-taking skills are crucial for any assessment, I believe the most valuable thing a tutor can do is to enhance and help develop conceptual understanding in our clients. I believe that once a student understands something at the conceptual level, he or she will be much better prepared for the topic, not only in the specific test we are preparing for, but anywhere else it may come up. Memorizing words or equations might help somebody in the short term, but understanding why that word means what it means, or what an equation is actually depicting is worth the extra effort. Besides test-prep I think I can be a great help in writing and editing, as I have experience in everything from short, timed essays such as the SAT essay, to college essays, to research papers such as the IB Extended Essay. I am fully fluent in Spanish for anyone who wishes to communicate in or practice the language.

I am hoping to put forth my knowledge and academic expertise in the variety of areas I am comfortable to do so, but with particular focus on one area that remains a crucial point upon which our education system rest: standardized testing. I am a recent veteran of the rather arduous journey most students take through myriad tests, upon which their success and failure is determined. I have intimate experience and knowledge with the AP, IB, SAT, and GRE tests, and have spent time tutoring in the area of the SAT, as well as staying abreast of changes in testing protocol and procedure for those tests which I listed above, prior to my time here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With over 305 schools across Jacksonville's two school districts serving more than 120,000 students, Varsity Tutors connects students from all neighborhoods and school types—public, charter, and private—with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and school expectations. Whether your student attends a school in the Northside or Southside, we can match them with a tutor familiar with their specific school's approach.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are knowledgeable about Florida's B.E.S.T. standards and how they're implemented in Jacksonville schools. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target the specific skills your student needs to master—whether that's reading comprehension aligned with grade-level benchmarks, math fluency, or writing standards—at their own pace, which research shows is far more effective than classroom-only instruction.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in Jacksonville schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need to catch up or move ahead. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by providing focused instruction tailored to your student's learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult for teachers to provide in larger classroom settings, no matter how dedicated they are.

Jacksonville students work with tutors across all core subjects, but we see particularly strong demand for math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and test preparation for SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for AP and honors-level courses, as well as specialized support for students with learning differences or those working toward advanced academic goals.

During the first session, the tutor and student get to know each other and the tutor assesses your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan aligned with your goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a subject. Most students feel comfortable right away because the session is focused entirely on them, not a classroom full of peers.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though this varies based on the subject, your student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. The key is consistency—students who meet regularly and practice between sessions see the fastest progress. Your tutor will track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.

Varsity Tutors considers your student's school, grade level, specific curriculum, and learning needs when making matches. Tutors understand how different Jacksonville schools approach subjects and can speak to your student's teachers' expectations. We also take into account personality fit and teaching style, because the best tutoring relationship is one where student and tutor connect and communicate well.

Varsity Tutors works with families across Jacksonville with flexible scheduling and package options to fit different budgets. We can discuss your needs and create a plan that works for your situation—whether your student needs intensive support or occasional help with specific topics. Many families find that targeted tutoring saves money in the long run by helping students avoid summer school or course repetition.
